Rays' Brad Miller: On base four times Tuesday

Miller drew four walks and scored once in five plate appearances during Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Marlins.

Despite an uninspiring .217 average, Miller's OBP is now .374 following Tuesday's season-high four walks. The 27-year-old's walk rate has spiked to 20 percent this season after not having ever been in double digits in any of his previous four big-league campaigns, helping offset a five-percent drop in contact rate. While his current power drought is concerning (one home run over 115 plate appearances after a career-high 30 last season), a breakout may be imminent for Miller, considering his 38.1 percent hard contact rate is the highest of his career.
